Chapter 146 - Nothing Less from Our Yi Mei

…

…

A few days later, Friday.

Li Jianyu returned from his run to see Xiang Yi finishing up her sword practice. Like a maid, he immediately poured her tea and handed her a towel.

Xiang Yi: “…Director Li, you don’t have to be so polite.”

“Please do not address me like that, you can just call me Xiao Li.” Li Jianyu said poorly as he took out his phone for his daily browse through.

It didn’t take long for the sound of geese screaming to be heard from the garden.

“Hahaha eheheheheh… Chen Mian is done for!!!” Li Jianyu stuttered excitedly. “The director for “Heartbeat”, the netizens uncovered his plans to poach money from fans to raise the popularity ranking of the stream, but something went wrong internally and someone ended up stealing money from the profit pool. They can’t even find him now.”

With this kind of commotion, the fans were bound to be upset. Chen Mian wanted to cover it up at first, but he had severely underestimated the combat abilities of the fans. After a night of fermentation, he successfully became the most searched subject in the trending section.

“Heartbeat” was only streamed on the weekends, but the official blog had just issued a notice that this week’s schedule had been canceled due to technical issues.

Any discerning person would know at first glance that the show would require a new director if it wanted to remain relevant.

Xiang Yi: “The fans have it the worst. They just wanted to support their idols but ended up getting trampled on like this.”

“That’s true.” Li Jianyu sighed and suddenly began to flail his hands about. He picked up his phone and spoke in a distressed manner. “It’s over, it’s over. Is this heaven’s retribution for my reaction just now? The guest we had arranged for needs their schedule adjusted.”

The guest had collaborated with Shi Sui before and has won the title of film queen. She was very highly regarded and had only agreed to attend the show on behalf of Shi Sui. Li Jianyu didn’t have much power to say anything, nor did he dare to…

It wasn’t easy to find a replacement temporarily. All aspects had to be coordinated accordingly, and it would also depend on whether other people’s willingness to come and save the show.

Li Jianyu was heartbroken. “How about… Yi mei, you cook some more meals? Or demonstrate your amazing swordsmanship? Oh, you know calligraphy too and drawing as well…”

Xiang Yi raised her eyebrows. “Why don’t we get Xiao Naofu to perform jumping through a fire ring, or jumping through a fire ring while breathing fire?”

Li Jianyu was overjoyed. “Xiao Naofu really has this kind of talent?!”

“What do you think?”

“…I understand.”

It turns out Yi mei also knew how to crack jokes.

Joking aside, Xiang Yi really wanted to help him too. But she probably knew less people in the entertainment industry than the lighting engineer or the cameraman. She browsed through her friends list and asked, “I can ask Jiang Chen?”

“Heh? That’s right! Jiang Chen is not filming “Heartbeat” anymore, he should be available.”

“I asked, Jiang Chen is available, and so is the rest of Sea7.”

Tomato Entertainment currently valued Sea7 very much. Jiang Chen and the others also used the recording to threaten Sister Ling. Immediately, her attitude made a 180-degree turn and was now helping the group develop a long-term plan. They didn’t take any commercial activities or jobs as the boys had been preparing for a new album.

But they did have time to record a variety show for a day.

Li Jianyu looked toward Xiang Yi like looking at a treasure. “Okay, okay, let them come!”

Coincidentally, Shi Sui was on his morning jog as well. He was dressed head to toe in black sportswear, making his complexion appear even paler. “What are you guys chatting about?”

Li Jianyu was excited. “Yi mei has invited some pretty little brothers onto our show!”

Shi Sui: “Heh?”

“Seven of them too! Nothing less from our Yi mei!”

“……”

Shi Sui’s eyebrows jerked upwards.
